Swap Ingredients

Accurate stock reduction is essential to ensure all ingredients are correctly accounted for at the point of sale. Allowing guests to customise their orders as much as possible provides maximum flexibility for both the customer and the business. Creating recipes that support the swapping of specific items helps facilitate this process.

Scenario - Swap Mash to Fries

When a dish includes specific ingredients, guests may wish to swap them for alternatives. While managing the associated stock changes might seem complex, this can be easily handled with a simple configuration in the product setup.

Recipe - Pie & Mash

• During ordering the guest wants to swap the mash that normally comes with the pie to fries

• The recipe includes 95g of prep item mashed potato

  This example is using a prep item but it the same process could be setup with a recipe or purchase line

  

• A swap recipe product will be used to advise the kitchen of the preparation change and correctly adjust the stock reduction

Setup

• Create a 'swap' recipe that will be used by the POS operator to add to the order when the guest wants to swap

• Add to the recipe the required quantity of fries to depleted

  This could be a recipe, prep item or purchase line

• Add to the recipe the required quantity of mash that should NOT be taken from stock when sold

  This could be a recipe, prep item or purchase line

  • The quantity should be set as a minus value

    Setting the value as a minus will adjust / cancel out the original reduction of mash included within the pie and mash recipe bringing the overall reduction of mash to be 0g

    

Pricing

• Set the price of the swap product in the Price Matrix required price band

  Remember if the swap product is free then a price of 0.00 must be added
